Confession time: I just can't stop making these silly papers!
And couldn't wait any longer to share the new ones with you.
There are 64 here, (about half are new ones)...

more patterns to come...

I probably have another 40 to add to these, already, but I will
add new ones here as I make the circle thingies (with any older papers
that I've missed as well) ...but 40 sets seemed like a good start. ;-)

...nice large size: These are 12.5 inches square at 350 dpi resolution, but you can re-size them however you like, or simply choose the print at a percentage option in your printer settings.

...in many shades: Most of these sets have 29 colours (in bright & neutral hues) but if you'd like to make your own colours you can use the overlay that is in each set. The overlays have a transparent background (when used as a PNG) and you can add a layer with any colour you can dream up.

1) Click the circle preview, from the blog post, to go visit that set.2) Click on the colour you like to open its flickr page.
Add it to your flickr faves, or you can save it to your computer this way...3) Right click on that image and choose 'original'4) Right click again and choose 'save image as'5) Rename the file, if you like, and choose 'save'

P.S.Did you know that can quickly makethese patterns inyour own custom colours?(gimp tutorial on the way)...

By the by, If you want to make your own colours. I have a tutorial
in progress that shows you how, using the overlays that are in each set.
It uses gimp (which is a free program that is a lot like Photoshop, only free!)
Did I mention it was free? ;-)

Had a good look through these last night Mel and I love the French text and the bus tickets but how could I have missed the gorgeous dot papers! They all look great in the circular frames and your step by step tutorial on downloading was a big help. Thanks so much, Margie x

Mel, no offense, ok? you are the best kind of crazy I know of.. the best! Thanks for sharing all your hard work with us for free! I did notice right after you did the chevrons they are all over the place.. everywhere.

Thanks so much for all the free things you give to all of us! But moreover, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the knowledge that you share!! It is so kind of you. I am truely grateful!Maria S.scrapbooknut2002 at yahoo dot com

Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies (please, notice the new url for my blog), under the Page 3 post on May. 20, 2012. Thanks again.

i havnt seen quite a few of them before! i recently downloaded and printed the quatrefoil pattern with my own colour, my printer doesnt print well so i have to choose very high saturation colours to make them look regular colours. It has come out awesome just like your sunburst pattern. THIS page, I will bookmark! Thank you so much Mel for all that you do!

I love all your papers. My favorite is the dress pattern or the French script. It's hard to decide. Thank you!! I will enjoy these so much. Since I don't have PSE, Gimp will be great to use. Can't wait for the tutorial!

This is so thoughtful for you to share all this hard work. How did you create them? I'm going to get photo-shop soon so I need to learn how to do this type of stuff. I about flipped when I saw that you had them in all sorts of colors. wow!!!

OMG, I feel like I just won the lottery! I am a newbie at digital crafting & trying to slowly build up supplies. So many beautiful patterns & colors; the possibilities are endless! Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talent.

Wonderful visual textures. I have been looking everywhere for patterns to print edible images to go on cakes. Making my mother's 80th birthday cake and decorating bottom tier as a present (needed a wrapping paper design) next tier an antique hat box (needed striped design) and top tier a jewelry box (wood grain). I found all my prints here with complimentary compatible colors! A huge THANK YOU!
